The Record

Magie Lilly Rose N appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 2 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. One of those produced a win, and the horse finished in the first three on 2 occasions altogether.

The fastest mile recorded here is 1:56.1, set on Monday, October 11, 2004. A harness time is written in minutes, seconds and fifths, so the final digit is a fifth of a second rather than a hundredth. On a five-eighths-mile oval like Plainridge a horse turns four times in a mile, which costs ground against the bigger tracks and makes direct comparison of raw times misleading.

The winner's line in the chart gives the breeding as ARMBRO OPERATIVE out of AWESOME ROSIE, herself by W R H. Harness pedigrees are quoted in that order — sire, dam, then the dam's own sire — because the maternal grandsire carries much of the weight in judging a standardbred family.

The classes Magie Lilly Rose N was entered in run to FMOPEN, FMNPO. These are condition races rather than claiming events, so eligibility rested on money already won rather than on a posted purchase price.

The drivers who sat behind Magie Lilly Rose N most often were Greg D Bowden (1), Yannick Gingras (1). Driver changes matter more in harness racing than the bare numbers suggest, because the same horse can be driven for early speed or held for a late quarter depending on who holds the lines.
